Good evening. Welcome to Taskmaster.
My name is Louis Morissette and I am the Taskmaster.
Over the past few weeks,
I have devised a series of tasks
for five beloved comedians to complete.
Together, we'll discover what they did,
and how they did it.
Yuck!
As the Taskmaster, I'll hand out points to the most deserving contestants,
based on highly subjective and ambiguous criteria.
The winner of the season will take home
the greatest prize in television history:
a replica of my head... in gold!
[Episode title: "Ich liebe dich"]
Thank you! Thank you, everyone!
Here are the five friends...
...with whom I will be spending the entire season.
But once the season is over,
I'll never speak to them again: Phil Roy!
Tammy Verge!
Mona de Grenoble!
Marie-Lyne Joncas!
And the succulent Kevin Raphael!
Allow me to present to you my assistant,
who spent the entire season with them,
who suffered alongside them,
but who loves them all the same,
in true Stockholm Syndrome style: Antoine Vézina!
Thank you!
They said I have to read this:
"I am here of my own free will,"
"and am very happy."
So, Antoine, as always, we're here to have fun,
but there are also some prizes to be won.
And it's our friends who have kindly brought them in.
Tonight, they had to bring in
the most embarrassing thing to bring home.
The most embarrassing thing to bring home. - We want names! We want names!
Or objects. Well, let's have a look.
Let's start with Kevin!
Yes? I'm listening.
You think washing yourself is embarrassing?
Self care?
Every time I go to a hotel,
I'm the dude grabbing all the lotion, all the shampoo,
and I bring all of it back home.
So there's a little desk at my house.
When I open it, I go, "Yo, this is from this hotel,"
"this is from that hotel, etc."
So, yeah.
Let's see what Marie-Lyne brought in.
Nothing.
What? There's nothing?
There's nothing embarrassing in your home?
I'd like to point out that,
out of everyone on this stage,
I'm the only person here who lives alone;
who doesn't have kids or a partner.
So I can bring absolutely anything home...
Or anyone! - ...and not be embarrassed by it.
Nothing is embarrassing to me.
My dog, my cat;
what do you think could embarrass them,
or that could embarrass me?
Absolutely nothing, Louis.
Let's see what could be embarrassing for Mona.
I brought in Marie-Lyne, because...
She's embarrassing?
...imagine bringing her home to your family?
You can't take this girl anywhere.
You can't take her anywhere!
She just bitched about being alone;
ask yourselves why! Haha!
Thank you very much.
Let's see what Tammy brought in.
Is it also me?
I wouldn't be upset.
This is a life-sized cut-out of me.
I would find it so embarrassing to have
a portrait of myself in my own home.
Ah, now I know why you didn't talk to me
that one week we were on vacation.
Thank you, Tammy.
Let's have a look at Phil's!
I went with the grand prize.
You're not the embarrassing thing.
The entirety of this sculptor's work is embarrassing!
I know sculptors who would say,
"No, we don't do that kind of thing."
Thanks, Phil.
You need to score them, now.
I need to give out some points.
Well, clearly, because he made fun of my handsome face,
it's zero points for Phil.
Zero for Phil.
And, obviously, if I want to be consistent:
zero for Marie-Lyne. She didn't respect the theme.
Well, I'm gonna go home. That's gonna be embarrassing.
I'm going to give 5 points to Kevin,
4 points to Mona, and 3 points to Tammy.
Okay. That's done.
We know what we're playing for.
Let's have a look at our first task.
Yes! For this one,
you had to know how to use your tongue.
Oh my god, it's a man.
Oh! That's so scary!
Uh, Tammy, it's a person.
Yes, but it's a person I don't know.
Oh! A human!
Mmm! Smells like a date!
Hello! - Hallo!
Do you have a mic?
[German] I'm sorry?
Oh...
"Find out the following information from this German person."
So there's a German in front of me, here.
"His date of birth, his favourite meal..."
"...his greatest fear, his father's job..."
"...how he would describe me..."
"...what his greatest wish is."
Ah, I'm happy I'll get to know you!
"The German person may not speak nor write in French or English."
"The fastest and most accurate wins."
"Your time starts now."
Okay! - [German] Hello!
[German] Hello! Hello! I love you.
[German] Good day!
Oh! [German] Good day!
[German] I love you. - So, simple enough;
there's a German-speaking person in front of them...
And they have to find out
some particular facts about them.
Does that work for you?
I love that laugh.
You'll understand soon enough.
Let's see Phil and Tammy's attempts.
Ah! Dammit!
Uh... You... were born... when?
[sings "Happy Birthday"] June 23rd!
June 23rd... - [German] December 23rd
December 26th?
September 30th.
[German] No.
- [German] No. - [German] No.
[German] December 23rd, 1981.
Let's imagine a timeline.
[German]
You're not listening to me.
I feel like you're not listening to me.
More or less? - [German] More.
Okay.
[German] Fifty more.
Twelve? - [German] No.
[German] More.
22? 23? - Bingo. - Bingo!
♪ December 23rd, Merry Christmas, Mr Côté ♪
You didn't sing it!
It's a song by Beau Dommage. [Quebec folk/rock band]
You should have just told me!
What's your favourite meal?
Mmm, mmm! You, you?
Mmm! Mmm! Hot-dog. Mmm!
[describing a Margherita pizza in German]
I'm hearing that you like eating
a monkey with tomatoes.
That's all I understood.
There's tomato sauce on a kaiser.
Is it pizza?
[German] Exactly.
Bingo.
It's a thing with layers.
Okay! You like pizza.
Your favourite meal is pizza. Pizza.
Okay.
What did your dad do to bring home the bacon?
Your father! Your father? Your father.
Your mother... Your father. Okay?
Your father. Your father?
[German] My dad?
Your dad? Your dad. Papa.
Papa; what does he do for a living?
[explaining that his father is an engineer, in German]
He's had different jobs.
[explaining that his father is an engineer, in German]
Do you see the blankness in my eyes?
[explaining that his father is an engineer, in German]
He was in a gang?
Oh really?
What does your father do for work?
You're saying a lot of words!
[explaining that his father is an engineer, in German]
A pretty nice gang, though.
[German, but is the same in French] Big gang!
He said, "big gang"!
I'm not crazy!
"Ackschaft", there were some... Ah, the shafts, yes?
Your biggest fear?
Boo!
Ah! He doesn't scare easily.
We'll eliminate that one.
[he's afraid of something bad happening to his kids]
You're afraid of who? Kinan?
[German] My children.
Kindan? Kindan!
Of being kidnapped!
[German] No.
The dark? No.
When you were small!
[German] No, no no... - No, no.
[German] I have two children.
Oh! That your child dies.
That you lose them.
[German] Yes.
He's afraid of losing his child.
How would you describe me? Handsome?
[German] Very colourful.
Very handsome!
[German] Colourful. - Good!
[German] Colourful! - "Bundt".
[German] Impressive.
Very pretty.
So, you'd describe me as... - [German] Colourful.
"Bund." Yeah.
[German] Phil Roy is colourful.
You gotta stop it with "bund"; it's really hurtful.
What's your greatest wish?
Hold my hands.
What...?
[German] My greatest wish is for world peace.
[attempts to repeat what he said] - [German] World peace.
His greatest dream is... [attempts German].
[German] Goodbye, Tammy.
[German] I love you.
[German] Madam?
[German] I love you.
He can say whatever he wants. For me, [German] I love you.
It was a really lovely meeting.
You know, sometimes, you can say a lot without using words. Eh, Phil?
Yes. We went camping one weekend,
the three of us, with Franz, there.
Ah! It was fun.
We did a shit ton of "bund"-ing!
But there was a second "Ich liebe dich" there.
Yes! - From your wife?
Well, yes, but it's alright, she's free to...
Maybe he was seduced by her love of... hot-dogs?
What?
Hey! Taskmaster!
How do you mime a hot-dog, then?
Well, like this.
A hot-dog!
It's long!
You never held a hot-dog like this?
No! It was a hot-dog with some "bund".
And it really...
It's a European hot-dog!
It depends on its toppings!
You can "bund" a hot-dog.
I agree with you, Tammy.
Easy!
So, two correct answers for Phil and three for Tammy.
Let's see if Mona and Marie-Lyne
can master foreign languages better.
You, there.
Look at what I'm doing, okay?
You. - Okay?
That's you.
Do you know the song... [sings "Happy Birthday"]
[sings "Happy Birthday" in German]
You? - [German] My birthday?
Shit.
You...
You.
[German] December 23rd.
December 2nd.
[German] December. - December.
Next question.
Yum, like... I like this! Yum, yum, yum!
[describing margherita pizza]
Cutlets.
[describing margherita pizza] - Yes, with brown sauce; excellent.
[describing margherita pizza]
Tomato sauce on a kaiser. Pizza!
[German] Exactly. - Pizza.
Okay.
Next to her. You know?
There's the father.
[German] My father? - Papa?
[German] My father. - Papa.
Your father. - [German] My... Yeah?
What does he do?
[explaining that his father was an engineer]
Ah! He was a farmer.
His father is a farmer.
Boo!
Okay, his biggest fear isn't drag queens.
Okay!
[German] My biggest fear?
Yeah. - [German] Yeah?
[he has two children and is afraid of something happening to them]
Ah! He's afraid of the dark.
He's afraid of kids.
This task is insane.
[speaking German]
No, no! We can't get into this level of conversation.
It's not gonna work.
[his greatest wish is for world peace]
He'd like to be able to fly.
Wine and cheese!
He'd like some wine and cheese.
Wine and cheese; got it.
Perfect!
[German] Very good!
That went well!
I'm sure you can speak French.
Yes. - Ah! Fucking hell.
Looking back, you should have asked him if he spoke French, eh?
Yep. I should have asked him straight away.
Mona and Marie-Lyne got how many correct answers, Antoine?
So, pizza for Mona. 1 point.
And Marie-Lyne, well, it was zero.
We're going to take a break, and when we return,
Kevin Raphael will speak German to us.
Ah!
I think that what you made was a bubble.
It was a balloon.
Birthday balloons!
Hang on! Hang on!
I never thought I'd say this, Louis,
I miss last season's contestants.
Welcome back to Taskmaster.
We're in the middle of a language task.
We've seen four attempts.
Yes, we have.
There's just one left.
Yes, so, we're trying to obtain specific information
from a man speaking only German.
Let's see Kevin's attempt.
Okay!
[German] Good day, my name is Kevin.
[German] Hello, my name is Boris.
[German] My surname is Raphael.
[German] Ah! My surname is Bernhardt.
No! No, no, no!
I have some questions for you, my man.
German I, University of Montreal.
Hey!
[German] I want to drink beer.
[German] That tastes good.
Okay. Do you understand me when I speak?
[German] Yes, I understand you.
Okay, perfect. Birthday.
[German] 23rd December 1981.
December 23rd,
but it's just his birthday.
We didn't ask for the birth year.
Your favourite... oh, boy!
Your favourite meal.
[describing margherita pizza]
Margherita pizza.
What your father does for work.
[his father is an engineer]
Engineer. Done! Done.
What's your greatest wish?
[he wishes for world peace]
World peace?
Wow!
You did one year of German, Kevin?
Yes! - Wow, that's pretty good.
You know what? I failed!
Bravo!
My respect.
You know, Kevin's the only one
who didn't mime like an idiot.
I was just Colombo Kev!
Colombo Kev! We bow to you!
Okay.
If we're going by number of correct responses...
We'll give out points
based on the number of correct responses.
Perfect. So, 5 points
for five correct answers for Kevin,
3 points for Tammy,
2 points for Mona and Phil,
and zero for Marie-Lyne.
Kevin is in the lead! There you go! Bravo, Kevin.
There IS a god, man!
Now that we're all warmed up, let's move on to the next task.
Yes, a task that might burst your bubble.
Oh! Bubble wrap.
Ah! This is fun!
Satisfying! Okay.
"Make the biggest bubble and burst it with your nose."
The biggest bubble.
I'm good at making bubbles.
"You have 10 minutes."
Are you guys nuts?
Not a snot bubble, right?
No, no. I won't make a snot bubble.
Firstly, I'm not 8 years old,
and secondly, I have make-up on.
Tell me, when does the time start?
Hang on. I won't tell you when the time starts,
because then you'll start it and I don't even know
what I'm meant to do.
"Your time starts... now."
I'll be back!
10 minutes!
So, it was simple.
They had to make a bubble and pop it with their nose.
Okay! - Not too complicated.
Well, let's see Phil, Marie-Lyne, and Mona's attempts.
Dammit!
There aren't any bubble-making things, here,
for a start; you know?
So?
So, I don't know, now.
What's in there?
Soap?
Yes.
Just soap?
Soap and water.
Okay, thanks.
Hey! I learned this at science day camp.
I'm going to take this string, here, like this.
I'm going to make a knot, like this.
And, theoretically, with hot water and soap...
What you have in your bowl?
What I have in my bowl, yes; exactly.
Okay.
Hey, I've never smelled better.
I'm just going to... Really; it helps.
You should put some on, yourself.
When I take this out, it should make...
Wow!
Okay. Look! This is good.
Stay with me. Stay with me!
Shit!
Well, I was looking for straws.
Because... And if, like, you made a bubble in here.
It's gonna make a ton of bubbles.
But this... okay.
You see?
Ah! Shit!
I'd like to say hello to my day camp monitor.
His name was Bécher.
I looked like I wasn't listening,
because I was busy eating my sunscreen,
but I was actually listening.
I'd like to apologise to everyone because I'm breathing into this.
Once this bursts, it's gonna smell like an ashtray in here.
I'm telling you.
Ah, well, I've got one here, at least.
With your nose.
Okay, look.
I'm going to secure a bubble.
Do you see it?
It's popped.
I've secured something for myself.
It wasn't very big, but, you know, still...
You have a safety net.
Five minutes.
That wasn't bad, eh?
And if...
Hang on.
It looks like underwear after an eventful evening.
See-through undies.
Yes, but... after a lovely evening of science!
Ah! That kind of science!
The science of love.
Ah! Shit!
Look, look!
That's pretty, eh?
There you go! There you go.
Ah, that's good, Mona.
Okay.
Well, listen...
What burst the bubble, Louis?
The air from your nose! - You made a bubble that you popped...
...by blowing into it with... - ...your nose.
My nose! - A successful attempt.
We still have some attempts to see.
The beautiful Tammy's, and the handsome Kevin's.
So you made that?
"Make the biggest bubble."
Okay.
This isn't the best gum for this.
But I'm going to try.
I've just personalised it.
So, it's my bubble.
So now I need to burst it with my nose, right?
So popping it means that it has to disappear.
How do I do this?
One... Two... Three...
Fuck!
Oh, yes! Okay.
Come on.
Come on! Shit!
I'm telling you. This is going to be impressive.
Isn't it dangerous to promise something like that?
Yeah, no, but I've got it. I'm very good.
I like it when they do this in ads.
You know; they do it like this?
Do it; let's see.
Oh, yeah, eh?
I'm smart!
Yes! Yes!
Letendre College in Laval! [region north of Montreal]
Collège Letendre! A private college!
Ah, they must be proud.
Oh, yeah!
Yeah? - Mmhmm.
Oh! No?
It's not made for it, it seems. Shit.
Shit!
A bubble has air in it. - Okay.
If I remove the air in the bubble,
it means the bubble has popped.
That makes sense, man. You know it does.
Don't pretend it doesn't.
No, no, no! But I asked on behalf of the viewers.
They know it, too!
They know it! They know it!
Everyone agrees with what I'm doing right now.
No.
Do you know the expression,
"Don't get discouraged in the face of adversity"?
I have another solution; you'll see.
What is it?
A birthday balloon.
The pink one. I feel it.
"...the biggest bubble, and burst it with your nose."
Now what?
Now: safety pin; with my nose.
Okay.
No, no. I think it's popped now.
There's no air in there anymore.
Don't tell me that private school is better than public school!
Kevin, I'm always wondering if you're messing with me
or if you're serious.
Are you done inventing the rules?
You said... It said, "bubble". That was a bubble.
After that, you said, "your bubble".
A ball isn't a bubble. - Yes, it's a bubble!
Deflating isn't bursting or popping.
Well, where did it say that?
On the task!
You know what?
Stop it, Kevin! Stop it!
But, Tammy; Tammy, well done.
I worked hard.
Can we look at the replay?
When it popped, you weren't having the best time.
You're facing all of your fears.
Seriously, yes; it whipped me!
But if we're saying that that's a ball,
that is also a ball[oon]. ['ballon' can mean 'ball' or 'balloon'].
We rarely say, "Hey, your birthday bubble, is super nice!"
We say, "your birthday balloon".
Your bouquet of birthday balloons.
I think that what you made was a bubble.
It was balloons.
Yes; she blew it up, but let's say...
you can't say to Kevin: "a ball isn't a bubble",
and tell Tammy,
"Wow! Your birthday balloon is super nice!"
Hang on! Hang on! - You can't!
I never thought I'd say this, Louis,
but I miss last season's contestants.
Please! The Taskmaster
will make the call and assign the points;
don't grumble about it.
I hear your arguments.
Thank you, Louis! Ah!
He's persuadable!
Okay, Kevin, put your hands down; you get zero.
Ah! Damn!
So, the biggest bubble...
I think Mona had the biggest bubble.
Well, did you measure them?
Marie-Lyne: four, Tammy: three.
Perfect.
Phil, I'm giving you 2 points for your positive attitude.
It's very tight, and Mona is in the lead.
Thank you very much.
Very, very tight!
We're going to take a break.
Up next; a third task.
And please; I demand a bit more discipline on this stage.
Yes, I agree.
We'll be right back after the break.
I loved working with Kevin.
Truly. Dedication?
It's his middle name.
Great communication.
Really, we've been getting dinner
every night since then.
Thank you! Welcome back to Taskmaster.
So, we've completed two tasks.
We're ready for the third task.
Can it be something a little more precise?
I don't know; technical?
This way there will be less arguing.
They'll find a way; you know them.
But let's move on to the next task.
It's a task full of paint, life, and stillness.
Okay. I'm raring to go.
This is going to go well.
If we're together, it's because
the two other incompetents are together, so...
"Paint the best picture of this still life."
What?
"Paint the best picture of this still life."
"The painter must remain blindfolded throughout."
"The other person/people may not move from their chair(s)"
"and may only say the following words:"
"Banana, Down, Left..."
"...Less, More, Pick, Right, Up, Whoops."
"You have 10 minutes. Your time starts now."
Okay, who's gonna paint? Who's painting?
Can I be blindfolded?
Go ahead, Kevin. - Woohoo!
Okay. Phil, do you see anything?
No.
10 minutes have begun.
Oh, boy!
That was so fun!
That really brought us together!
Yeah!
That really united you three.
We loved it.
You're reminding us of a joyful time.
We hated it.
It's a terrible memory.
No way! It didn't look like that at all!
Oh, just wait!
I loved working with Kevin.
Truly. Dedication?
It's his middle name.
Kevin "Dedication" Raphael.
Precise, really concise, great communication.
Really, we've been getting dinner every night since then.
Well, as you said, this is a team task.
So, each team had to paint the still life
that you see behind me, there.
One team member was the painter,
and had to be blindfolded.
The others had to guide them.
They could only use the words,
'banana', 'up', 'down', 'left',
'right', 'less', 'more', 'pick', and 'whoops'.
You can decide how it went.
Right, right.
Right.
Can we say 'right'?
Yes. Right, left, up, down.
Right, right, right. Okay.
Banana.
Down.
Okay...
Down. Down.
Left. Left.
Left, left.
There?
Whoops.
I'm gonna do it with my finger.
Banana. - Banana.
Banana. - Banana. Down!
Down. Left.
Left, left, left. Left, left, left!
Do I put the banana here?
Down. Down.
Okay, so I paint a banana here.
Banana!
Here?
Banana...
Ah, whoops!
No, no.
No, but, you know, at some point...
Pick. Pick.
I can pick?
Pick!
Ah, that's it!
It's mass hysteria!
Left. Left. Left.
Down. Down.
Down, down, down!
Right!
Pick!
Banana.
Up. Up. No. No.
Up. Yes. Whoops.
No. Up. Oh! Whoops!
Up... Up! No!
How are you supposed to do that?
This entire still life that's in front of me.
More, less, more, less...
A more and a less?
More, less, more, less...
Oh! Pick!
Banana.
Banana more.
"Banana more"!
Yeah.
Up, down, left, right.
Ah, like a...
Left. Left. Up.
Left, up.
Banana.
A banana, but that tastes like melon, let's say.
Watermelon. You know; a banana that tastes like watermelon?
Go. Wow.
Wow!
Up! Pick! Pick! Yes!
Christ, we're so good at this!
Ah! He's the best.
He's my baby.
Whoops, whoops!
Up, down, left, right.
Okay. Say 'banana' if it's 'yes',
and 'right' if it's 'no'.
Perfect.
Banana?
Sorry!
Is it a plate?
Pick. Pick.
What's a still life?
Banana.
Your team name is 'Divorce'.
The least dedicated one was you, actually.
You can see the point at which you gave up.
Yeah.
Yes!
There was nothing left to do, from that point on.
I tried to follow the rules, but... it wasn't clear.
I won't tell you which team painted which picture,
but we're going to see them now for the first time.
Okay.
Here they are. So, we have the original at the top.
And then the two attempts.
It's not that bad.
Yo, mine's pretty nice.
They were three; we were two.
Kevin, we didn't do well.
Okay, perfect.
So, Mona, Tammy, and Phil's team's picture
is on the left, of course.
You can put it up on your fridge.
It was a really hard task.
I'll give 5 points to Mona, Tammy, and Phil's team.
5 points each.
Because they were three as opposed to two,
there was a technical challenge,
you were fewer, Kevin's French...
I'll give them 3 points.
3 points!
For the two members of the other team.
The teamwork means that Mona is still in the lead.
We'll try to recover from our emotions during the break.
When we come back, another task.
"You do not have to unwind "the roll of string." What?
Oh...
What? You want me to roll all of this back up?
"Taskmaster".
You're a real piece of shit.
Well, you knew it!
Welcome back to Taskmaster.
Well, everyone has calmed down.
Our spirits are back up.
Are you ready to explain the next task?
Yes, but it's a task
that might lead you to the end of your rope.
Again? Oh...
Phil.
Antoine.
Hello!
Hi, Tammy!
Happy to see you, Antoine.
Thank you!
Oh! I'll sit down.
Okay.
Why has the time started?
Ah! That's a mystery.
Okay! "Completely unwind this roll of string."
"Your time started when you said Antoine's name."
Come on!
"Your time started when you said Antoine's name."
I should have said 'darling' instead.
My god, sorry! Just burped.
Can we redo it?
No, no. I'm gonna own it.
I won't pretend there isn't a man underneath this costume.
I'm so bloated these days, Antoine.
Oh yeah? How come?
I don't know.
Oh, my god! "Completely unwind this roll of string."
"Your time started when you said Antoine's name."
Yo, MJ.
MJ, Kevin. - Michael Jordan.
And who am I? - Anton.
Anton. Yes, okay.
Okay.
"Your time started when you said Antoine's name."
Antoine.
This is the task?
Are you sure this makes for good television?
"Unwind the string."
Yes.
The time started the moment they said my name.
Well, let's see how they did.
Here are Marie-Lyne, Phil, and Kevin's attempts.
Okay! - Dammit!
I'll have to reroll it afterward.
I've seen this in the strongman competitions.
They pull like this. Cha! Cha!
Which strongman competitions are you watching?
I don't know, man.
I don't know what it is.
Oh, it's really long.
Like, what if I...
I'm gonna have to reroll it.
If that's not it... There's some nuance...
There's something I didn't understand.
Bang! Stop the time!
Stop the time! Stop the time!
Why?
Three... Two... One... Done.
You're not stopping the time.
What's the catch?
Stop! Stop the time! Stop!
Antoine!
Come on, please!
Well, stop the time!
"Completely unwind this roll of string..."
Ah, bro! You can't be serious!
"Put a neat roll of string on this cushion."
Ah! Fuck.
"You do not have to unwind the roll of string." What?
Oh...
What? You want me to reroll this?
"Taskmaster".
You're a real piece of shit.
Well, you knew it!
I have to...
Where's the end, Antoine?
I've lost the end!
Ah! No!
Not too much! Not too much!
Okay! - Keep a slight tension.
Not too much! - There are knots, bro.
There are knots. The knots are coming apart, bro.
The knots are untangling.
I've stopped the time.
Here. We're gonna start with this.
I'm not gonna win this.
But do you really think Kevin Raphael saw the back of the task?
Seven minutes flat.
Okay!
Stop.
I hate all of you behind the cameras. All of you.
Phil, that's surprising, because
while you were unwinding the string,
you knew that-
I said, "There's no way that this is the task."
I was pulling on it and thinking...
I was looking around trying to
find something that said, "Haha! Just kidding!"
"Stop doing what you're doing."
Do we have their times?
Of course.
Phil did it in 3 minutes and 57 seconds.
Marie-Lyne did it in 4 minutes and 35 seconds.
And we saw Kevin do it in 7 minutes flat.
But let's see if Tammy and Mona found the hidden instruction.
Oh, my god, it's really long!
"Completely unwind this roll of string!"
Ah! Wow.
This isn't dangerous, is it?
No, no, no.
I grew up on the streets.
This isn't my first time playing with blades.
Ah! I'm proud of myself.
Okay, go.
Ah, shit!
You know, this is the slow part,
but once it gets going, Antoine, oh boy!
Put this here, bing bang.
Whoops.
No, no. Quickly.
Okay, quickly! Come on.
This is so dumb!
Oh no! Oh no, no!
It didn't work!
Hey! There's something really satisfying about this.
I can see the end, Antoine!
Yes!
There! There you go. Stop the tape!
Bing, bing, done.
4 minutes 48 seconds and a banged-up blender.
But you didn't stop it.
No.
Why not?
The time is still going.
Well, yeah, but it says...
I'm myopic and have astigmatism, how am I supposed to...?
"Put a neat roll of string..."
This is animal cruelty.
Because I'm a real bitch.
I'm going to go get a new roll.
Don't move.
There's gotta be another one here somewhere.
Oh come on! Come on!
Honestly! Ah! This...
Come on!
A roll of string... A roll.
Are they gonna argue with me about what a roll is?
Are you okay, Tammy?
They're picky about their words, these guys.
The Taskmaster. [makes mocking whiny noises]
Don't speak ill of the game!
I rarely experience things as frustrating as this, Antoine.
Rarely!
I was so proud.
String, and a roll.
I dare you to argue with that.
There!
A roll... some string. ['de' can mean 'of' or 'some']
I've gotta go throw myself against a plasterboard wall.
Okay. Antoine, can you re-read the second instruction to me, please?
With pleasure. "Put a neat roll of string on this cushion."
"Fastest wins."
"You do not have to unwind the roll of string."
So, they did that part already.
They all did.
But you didn't have to reroll
or use the same roll. - It was so clear.
What were Tammy and Mona's times?
So, Tammy did it in 3 minutes and 19 seconds.
And 7 minutes and 39 seconds for Mona.
Okay. You took the longest, but after that...
Yes, but Mona actually rerolled a roll of string.
There was a neatly wound roll of string.
5 points to Mona.
5 points to Mona! - Thank you!
4 points for Tammy.
That was well done.
And finally, 3 points for Phil, Marie-Lyne, and Kevin.
3 points each.
Who's in the lead now, Antoine?
It's still Mona.
Congratulations, Mona, but we have one task to go.
After the break, we'll have the live task.
Oh!
You missed it!
What did he do?
He put it on his teeth!
I stuck it on my torso!
Welcome back to Taskmaster.
It's the final task of the show.
Antoine, who's gonna read the instructions?
We're going to have Mona de Grenoble read them.
And I'll remind you that first place hasn't been decided yet.
Thank you.
"Stick a plaster on the correct body part."
"Antoine will say the names of three body parts."
"You must stick a plaster to the body part"
"that comes second in the dictionary"
"out of the three body parts."
"The slowest person to stick a plaster"
"to the correct body part is eliminated."
For instance, if I say, "Arms, ears, eyes",
you take your plaster and you stick it on...
My god, you're an idiot!
In a dictionary, "arms, ears, eyes",
it's "ears" that comes second.
Did you understand? - We'd stick it on the ears.
Here we go.
Cheek. Torso. Teeth.
Oh! Fuck.
You missed it!
What did he do?
He put it on his teeth!
I stuck it to my torso!
'Cheek' came second.
Let's continue. Phil is eliminated.
Nose. Arm. Eye.
Shit, shit, shit shit.
Ah, no, that's it.
So this time, we were not looking for 'eye',
but the nose, which came second.
So, Tammy and Mona are eliminated.
Listen up. This might be the last round.
Hair. Elbow. Heart.
Ah! That's good.
Heart!
The winner is Marie-Lyne Joncas!
So, after looking at the data, Antoine,
I think we should give out points
based on the number of successfully completed rounds.
Perfect.
So, that means 3 points for Marie-Lyne,
2 points for Kevin,
1 point for Mona and Tammy, and zero for Phil.
Okay!
That means that tonight's winner is...
Mona de Grenoble!
You get to take Marie-Lyne home!
Come home with me, my baby!
We're halfway through the season, and Mona's lead is growing.
But nothing is set in stone yet, because the Taskmaster
can sometimes be intransigent.
The battle for second place is ferocious.
We'll see you next week
for another episode of Taskmaster! Bye-bye!
